The village is the pride of our country, India. The most calm, composed, and serene place in the whole world. A lush green field, an unpolluted environment are all that come to our mind when the word village arises. The ambiance of that place helps in maintaining the physical and mental health of a person. Agriculture is a vast sector in India and plays a major role in India’s economy.

People stay in unison in villages no matter what. People live in a village like a big grand joint family. They are always there for each other. They learn to share and care from a very young age. Since agriculture is a vast sector, many people are involved in this sector. Agriculture is the bread and butter for many people. The financial condition of farmers is not very good, they don’t have access to advanced technologies and that makes this job a little difficult for them.

People living in villages have a very ordinary lifestyle, they know the importance of managing with limited resources. Some of them even live in kaccha houses or, we may say, temporary houses, made up of clay and mud, thatched roofs made of straws or burnt clay tiles. Villages don’t even have many amenities. There are limited schools and hospitals out there. People are not aware of the importance of education. Hence, the literacy rate is very less in villages. Their life is totally different from the urban population.

The transportation is also not very smooth in the village area. There is too much love among all the people. They tend to celebrate all festivals together and spend as much time together as they can. They are always ready to help each other when in need. Although, the life of those people may look soothing to us but living in a village area also has some drawbacks attached with it.

Education is the one tool that differentiates us from other living beings on Earth. It is the most necessary tool in everyone’s life. It empowers humans and makes them ready to face the difficulties of life. It makes human beings the smartest among all other creatures. Education is the weapon that builds confidence in a person and makes them presentable in front of other living beings. However, it is necessary to get educated, but our country has not made it mandatory for anyone.

Educational awareness is being spread throughout the country. Many initiatives have been taken to educate the people of this country at least, educate the young generation. Since the young generation is the future of this country, steps are being taken to provide them at least the basic education. Many people are still not fully aware of the significance of education. Once they get to know, they will surely consider education a necessity in life.

Education is also considered an important tool for eradicating poverty from the country and make this country a better place to live in. It enhances the scenario in companies and also benefits the country as a whole. The higher the level of education, the higher will be the development of the country. It enhances career options for people Education is also responsible for providing a good lifestyle to people. It also intensifies the status of people. Also, when a person gets well educated, he can be trusted to make good decisions in life. Even the government are taken steps to educate children. The government is setting up schools in rural areas so that children can go and study. When the government can take this initiative, then why not us? People should understand the importance of education and work on it.

Rath Yatra is the famous Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Jagannath, who is an avatar of Lord Vishnu. This festival is celebrated at the Gundicha temple, situated in Puri, India, either in the month of June or July. According to the Hindu calendar, this occasion falls on the second day of the ‘Ashaadh’ month. This festival has been celebrated since the olden days of the Puranas. Millions of pilgrims get together to celebrate this auspicious occasion. On this auspicious occasion, the deities of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadr, and Devi Subhadra are worshipped inside the premises of the temple. It is assumed that on the day of Rath Yatra, Lord Jagannath visits the temple with his siblings on their chariots.

Rath Yatra signifies integration and equality. It is also known as the Chariot festival and gravels the way for the devotees who are otherwise restricted to enter the temples to see the deities. On this occasion, all its devotees pull the chariots as a procession for three kilometers, permitting the bhaktas to offer puja and offerings on their way. It is believed that whoever pulls the chariots gets a lifetime of happiness and prosperity. Also, his life gets filled with serenity, joy, and peace. The Chariot parade starts at the Badadanda and progresses towards the Gundicha Temple for nine days. And then they return to the Jagannath temple. Every year, the chariots are newly carved and substituted for the deities. The idols of the three deities are superseded once every 12 years. The ceremony of Rath Yatra goes on for 12 days. Many rituals are performed showing the dedication towards Rath Yatra.

Racism can be described as the feeling that individual races of people have some peculiar cultural features that are defined by hereditary factors and consequently make some races genetically superior to others. The belief that one race has natural superiority over the others created abusive behavior towards the members of other races.

The belief that a particular race or religion or caste has distinctive cultural traits and that they are much superior to others is completely illogical. There is no such thing as superiority or inferiority. We should consider all people as equal and should not be biased because of any reason, either color, caste, creed, or sex. We all know that this is wrong, but we have been following this for ages now. It is like the theory that our ancestors have set and we are bound to follow all those rules and regulations.

We should never judge people according to their color, or the way they speak. We should consider everyone equal and eliminate racism from our country. Though it is almost negligible in the urban cities, but in some of the rural areas, racism still prevails with all its power. The people are getting educated, and with this education, racism should have been extinguished by now. India is a land of diverse cultures. People having different castes live with each other. Even when we go to schools or colleges, all the students having different castes sit with each other, make friends irrespective of their castes. But as we grow older, we are taught to discriminate against people on the basis of their color and sometimes sex as well. Women, in our country, are not given much importance and they are degraded for no reason. Even in offices, they have a low grade pay than men. In rural areas, they are not allowed to work. They are just asked to stay at home and manage household chores.

A combination of trustworthiness, reliability, faith in success, and the strength to face the results is termed confidence. All these attributes are interlinked. The word ‘Confidence’ comes from the Latin word ‘Fider,’ which means trust. Confidence helps people in building healthy relationships.

People with confidence are a lot healthier and suited for any profession. They get a sense of leadership after building confidence in them. It takes time and inner ability to build confidence. In every area, confidence is one such thing that is required by all. Be it a front-end or a backend worker, everyone is expected to have confidence in them to perform any sort of work. Even when someone goes for an interview, the first thing that the interviewer sees is confidence. It is said that their knowledge is tested afterward but the first and foremost thing that is taken into consideration by anyone is confidence.

Confidence plays a crucial role in life these days. People need to have trust in themselves which is further required to have better productivity at work and also for building a strong relationship. Even when a person has enough skill, but lack of confidence can take down the person in life. Lack of confidence is often seen in people which gets them demotivated. On the other side, being overconfident about something also does not do good to anyone. Having the right amount of confidence is necessary these days. It makes the person presentable in front of others. All that is required by people today is having enough confidence that they can stand in front of other people without being demotivated. It boosts self-esteem and makes it easier for us to love ourselves.

Ethics is a branch of philosophy dealing with the issue of morality. It implies the concepts of what right and wrong conducts are. Ethics define how a person should act in some specific situations. It is not a new term, but it has been there since the Stone Age. Different religions and many philosophers have also made a substantial contribution to ethics.

There are different branches of ethics. First of all, comes descriptive ethics. Descriptive ethics include what people actually consider right and wrong. Accordingly, laws are made regarding that and if they are even acceptable or not. The moral principles of society keep on changing from time to time. However, the basic ethics remain the same. Descriptive ethics are also called comparative ethics. They are given the name comparative ethics as they are used to compare the ethics of past and present scenarios. Also, they are used to compare the ethics of different societies as well.

Then comes the next branch of ethics- Normative Ethics. Normative Ethics deals with some specific norms or a set of considerations. These norms indicate how people should act in some given situations. These ethics set out the rightness or wrongness of people’s actions. Normative Ethics are also known as prescriptive ethics. This name is given as there are principles involved with these ethics and those principles determine whether the actions of people are right or wrong in different situations.

An abstract way of analyzing ethics is called Meta-Ethics. They do not deal with whether the actions are right or wrong, rather they question what morality is.

Applied Ethics includes a philosophical examination of certain public and private life problems. The examination of those issues generally takes place from a moral standpoint. This branch of ethics is generally used by professions like doctors, teachers, etc.

Discrimination is the state when all individuals are not treated equally and not given equal rights. Every individual in the community yearns for equal status, opportunities, and equal rights. People generally say these days that everyone is treated equally but they are not. Discrimination usually exists because of cultural differences, geographical differences, and gender. Inequality on the basis of gender is something that is not appreciated, but it is seen many times in many companies. There are many areas where equal opportunities are not provided to women.

We are in the 21st century, and even now, women are not treated equally as men. It is generally believed that women are more talented than men, and it has been proved many times, but society is not yet ready to accept this fact. Gender equality is the term used when equal opportunities in the fields of politics, economics, education, and health are provided to both men and women.

As per the World Economic Forum’s gender gap ranking, India holds the rank 108 out of 149 countries. The rank should be a major concern in the country as it signifies the immense gap between the opportunities given to women when compared to men. The structure in India is such that women are neglected in many fields like education, health, finance, etc. They are just limited to household chores which should not be the scene here. There are many places in India where women are considered as a burden and they are not allowed to go to school and study as well. Also, a preference for sons prevails in many areas in India.

We should understand that women are the part and parcel of any family. When it comes to flexibility, they can manage their home and offices at the same time. If equal opportunities are not given to them, they will be led down and won’t be able to achieve big milestones which they are obviously capable of.

Black lives matter was an International Activist Movement, started in the United States in the year 2013. It was initiated to fight racism and violence against black people. The name Black Lives Matter implies the killing of black people by the police that could not be justified by them. It is said that black people were been killed more by the police rather than other people.

Society should not discriminate against people on the basis of their color. Whether black or white, everyone should get an equal amount of respect from others. The lives and humanity of black people are also the same as that of white people. The activists of Black Lives Matter have held many powerful protests in the cities across the United States as well as internationally. Black Lives Matter Global Network Association is the main organization that gives affiliation to the other chapters running in those states. It is a non-profit organization present in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Black Lives Matter was started as an online movement initially using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on various social media platforms. It was started by three black community organizers- Patrisse Khan- Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tormeti. The movement was started in 2013, and even if we see it today, not much has changed. Black people in those countries are still not treated properly. Even in the year 2020, many people were killed by their police officials. Students from their childhood years have been taught not to discriminate against any profession, and that all professions are equally important, then why can’t they be taught not to discriminate against black people.

People tend to become sad or upset when their wishes are not fulfilled or when someone or something doesn’t function according to them. In a more simplified language when there is a feeling of loss, emptiness, an undignified gap between our expectations and reality, we tend to get disappointed.

Since our childhood, we have been told that we should have a balanced diet to have a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet includes all the nutrients essential for our well-being like carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and roughage. All these nutrients have some important roles in our bodies.

Vitamins and minerals are necessary for our body as they have hundreds of roles to perform in our body. It is generally said that having too much of anything can harm us in different ways. Similarly, having too much of these nutrients may also harm us in one or the other way. Having a healthy diet remains the best way to get adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals.

Every day our body generates skin, muscles, and bones. It churns out the red blood cells that transport nutrients and oxygen to various body parts. It also transmits nerve signals through the brain and body pathways. It also forms chemical messengers that commute from one organ to another, resulting in the instructions that help sustain our lives. And for this, our body required some raw materials which include around 30 vitamins, minerals, and some other components that our body certainly need but cannot manufacture on its own.

Vitamins and minerals can prove to be very essential for our body. They do help in converting food into energy and also repair cellular damage. They help us in healing the wounds, and also by boosting our immune system.

Vitamins and minerals are required in fewer amounts by our body, so they are also named micronutrients. People who fail to have those few amounts of vitamins and minerals end up having some serious diseases like scurvy, blindness, rickets, etc.

One should regularly consume a proper and healthy balanced diet in order to keep their bones and muscles function in a proper way.

There is no proper definition of happiness. It differs from one person to another. There are different perceptions of people about being happy. Whatever it may be, happiness is a vital characteristic of human life. Without it, there is no meaning in life. It is not possible for even one person to lead their life without being happy.

Happiness means differently to everyone. For some people, it may mean peace of mind, while for some it may mean buying expensive clothes or going on some trips. Each human being is independent of his thoughts and a free-thinking individual. Everyone has a different way of looking at life. So, happiness is also variable for distinct people. It is a matter of fact that happiness is an integral part of everyone’s lives.

There is a common phrase that says, “Money cannot buy happiness.” The phrase states that you can obviously buy some materialistic things with money, however, you cannot buy happiness. Money can buy everything but not happiness. Happiness is an emotion that cannot be bought. For some people, it may imply buying expensive things may lead to their happiness, while for others happiness may just be about leading a peaceful life. For a particular section of society, happiness is determined by wealth. Those people tend to balance their wealth with happiness. Buying materialistic things with that money makes them happy in life. They remain content with their lives with those things.

For another section of society, money does not play any role in being happy. Money is just to satisfy their basic needs. Many people consider happiness to bring peace in their life with a calm sense of joy that occurs in someone’s mind. For them, happiness is a feeling that cannot be bought but just felt. Leaving everything behind, the important thing is to stay happy, it does not matter what makes you happy and what not. Doing whatever makes you happy is the key in life.
